However, after working further for few days specific movement of the accused Jakir Daud was traced and he was apprehended from shor village of Padgha, Maharashtra.

In 2015, Khan applied for a passport in his village to seek overseas employment and approached an agent in Mumbai, paying money and handing over his passport for a Dubai visa. However, the agent defrauded him and absconded, introducing Khan to other recruitment agents involved in overseas job placements. Motivated by this experience, he started working as a commission-based agent in the same field. In 2021, Jakir Daud Khan contacted Fiza Placement Pvt. Ltd after seeing their advertisement on Facebook and met Arshad, the owner, who hired him as an agent in Delhi. Jakir Daud Khan’s role involved recruiting people (victims) through other agents, facilitating their contact with the company, and collecting payments in cash, cheques, or bank transfers, which were deposited into his account. He along with Arshad and other co accused persons, were responsible for creating forged visas, air tickets, and job offer letters, while the company retained victims’ passports under the pretext of security.
